InsideToronto Article: ‘At-risk’ youth win music bursaries

Christmas came early for four young music enthusiasts as they accepted $4,000 worth of bursaries, two of them at a special award’s ceremony Saturday, Dec. 17.

Ashton and Morgan each received $1,500 as part of the late musician Jim Fay Music Bursary, awarded annually to youth between the ages of 16 and 24, who are or were homeless or “at-risk” and live in the Greater Toronto Area and want to further their study or practice of traditional, folk or roots music.
